Bio:

This armor was crafted by the Echani Warrior Caste for its vanguard of elite combatants which accompanied high ranking members of the Legion of Lettow near the onset of their invasion of the galaxy.

One suit of this armor was worn in a battle against the party by an Echani Warrior who was serving Kaox Krul. After the party defeated the warrior, Tyson Smee eventually took possession of the armor and had it fitted to be able to wear it.
